Review of Overdrive (2017) by Dan M — 14 Jan 2018

If I had to give this movie a score it would be a solid 85/100. Most people are giving it a terrible rating because they're comparing it to the fast and furious movies (of which like every other guy I enjoy).

But this movie is something completely different, it's all about classic cars and running a con under pressure, it has some solid plot twist and is clever enough to be entertaining, I came in with zero expectations and was surprised to finally find a movie which didn't use CGI every opportunity it got (refreshing break from all the CGI in the fast and furious movies).

The con they run was also fairly fun and entertaining for me. The two bad things I have to say about this movie are that the good guys kinda killed more people than any of the bad guys (didn't even think about it) and the character development was fairly weak.

But as far as it goes it is a very entertaining film to watch if expectations are left at the door, its right up the alley of anyone who both enjoys heist movies and cars.
